I remember in the #Psalms, the conquerers asked the captive Israelites to play a song on the #harps hanging from trees along the way, songs of the Old Country which they left to live a live of bondage in #Egypt. The Israelites didn’t feel like playing but I bet they did and coaxed them, lulled Pharoah and the Egyptians into defeat. Similarly, Persians were said to have lulled occupying Arabs into complacency in what is now the territory of Iran.
